I was in the market for a D50 not long ago. I watched about four dozen ebay actions. In every case the camera went for more money than I could have baught one out right from B&amp;H. So I never even bid on them. After a couple of weeks of this I cuaght one at the right time and paid $230. I go to ebay to find deals, other wise I would just buy from B&amp;H sence I know I can trust them. But most of the stuff on ebay goes for well more than its worth.
